seigniory (seigneurie)
In the old french regime in Quebec, a seigniory was a tract of land
granted by the crown, usually as a reward for services rendered to the
Crown or to a friend of the authorities. It was expected and usually a
condition of the grant, that the seignior would encourage settlement on
the lands in his seigniory. In general, the land was not sold but rather
leased in perpetuity and each settler had to pay an annual "rentes et
cens" consisting of money and/or produce. When land was sold or
transferred for a fee, it was the improvements on the land, buildings,
etc that were sold, not the land itself. The seigniorial system was
abolished in Quebec in the mid 1850s and the settlers then had the
opportunity to purchase the land outright.

Beauharnois and his brother Claude de Beauharnois de Beaumont, after
whom the seigniory was eventually named. Its first name was Villechauve.
In 1795, it was sold to Alexander Ellice and renamed Annfield in honour
of his wife, Ann. Most of the early settlements were made during the
Ellice family regime. The Ellice family owned it until 1840 when it was
sold to the London Land Company. In 1851, it was repossessed by the
Ellice family. In 1854, the seigniorial title was abolished by

Sherrington, Old Township of
Prior to 1809, the area north of Hemmingford Township and west of the
Seigniory of DeLéry was designated "Tract of Land under consideration
for endowing a University". including the southernmost area that was
granted to François Baby. The Belden Atlas 1881 called it Sherrington
Seigniory but I have not seen any evidence of such a name in previous
maps and related documents. It is shown on an 1831 map as sub-divided
into concessions. The same map shows the Seigniories of St-Normand and
St-James as McCallum's Property (Jas. McCallum owned those seigniories),
so it is possible that the Sherrington area was granted to Mr. Baby in a
similar manner. One document suggests that the Township included the
area of the late granted Seigniories of St-James, St-George, St-Normand
and Thwaite but this is debatable. It later became the
Paroisse-de-St-Patrice-de-Sherrington.
